The Loves We Lost
Tiësto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you better face the facts
Just don't dream of us together
Think about the way you act
Aha
This time, gotta find a new deal
Watching you and all your games is unreal
What I expect from you is just to be true
What can we do to celebrate
What can we do
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
What can we do to celebrate
What can we do
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Pride a deeper love
Pride a deeper love
Pride a deeper love
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pride a deeper love
Pride a deeper love
Pride a deeper love
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Yeah
A deeper love
A deeper love
A deeper love inside
Guess you need a new direction
Let me help you to decide
In the mirror, your reflection
Won't be me right by your side
Well, well, well
This time, gotta find a new deal
Watching you and all your games is unreal
This time, think of what to do
What I expect from you is just to be true
Pride a deeper love
Pride a deeper love
Pride a deeper love
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pride a deeper love
Pride a deeper love
Pride a deeper love
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pride a deeper love
Pride a deeper love
Pride a deeper love
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Pride a deeper love
Pride a deeper love
Pride a deeper love
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The lyrics to Tiësto's song "What Can We Do" suggest a relationship that is not working out. The singer urges his partner to stop pretending that things are okay, and instead, face the reality of their situation. They cannot be together, and the singer asks his partner to consider how they are acting, instead of dreaming of a future that cannot happen. The song, however, offers a glimmer of hope with the repeated phrase, "Pride a deeper love." This suggests that there is still a possibility for love, but it must come from somewhere deeper than just pretending that everything is okay.
The lyrics then move on to offer a solution to the problem. The singer offers to help his partner find a new direction in life, but warns them that their reflection in the mirror won't be him standing next to them. The song repeats the phrase "Pride a deeper love" throughout, emphasizing the importance of love, but suggesting that it must come from a place of true honesty, rather than just trying to keep things going.
One possible interpretation of these lyrics is that the singer is trying to save a failing relationship, asking his partner to consider their actions and to be honest about what they want. Pride a deeper love is a call to dig deeper into their emotions and find a way to love each other in a more meaningful and honest way.

The loves we lost. The ones that passed away. Not the loves that weren't love. But the loved ones that we will never see again or perhaps we will i don't know. But this song reminds me of my dad who passed away when i was 16. And i miss him so much.
@efraim.
Sorry for your loss Victor

@flkatk
tiesto is the trance dj we lost
@DJCrystall
No.. Music is moving forward as the Djs, they just can make trance of 2000 forever..whenever we want it or not.. and trance is even nowadays still subgenre.. i mean its not for big public.. so DJ trying to make music to suit more people.. so its gonna be more pop, than it was, its inevitable...
@441milachik
@Paul Trance subgenre? Trance was player in Olympic ceremony, movies, charts, video games (NFS,FIFA, Midnight Club) and radios, trance was not underground or subgenre.
@djokotiestomr.6580
@Paul very good your opinion, i agree
@rishichawda5988
I wish Tiesto could have made more tracks allure style. The tracks are not enough.
@adammays7178
Tiesto sold out to mainstream music. But you are right. When he was still mixing Trance, he was just as popular as Armin van Buuren is now.
